About
Dr. Mary Packard’s research lies at the intersection of curriculum design, educational technology, and the ethics of care, with a particular focus on how digital tools can be reimagined as expressions of human connection rather than mere instructional aids. Her most-cited work, “Guiding Principles for Transforming Curriculum Through Integration of Technology as Expression of Caring” (2019), introduces a novel framework that positions technology integration as a pedagogical act rooted in empathy and relational responsibility. Though still early in her career, this paper has garnered 3 citations—a meaningful start that signals growing interest in her human-centered approach to edtech. Packard’s contribution is distinctive: she challenges technocentric narratives by arguing that caring, not efficiency, should drive curricular transformation. Her principles offer educators a practical yet philosophically grounded path to embed compassion into digital learning environments. This work has been recognized in curriculum studies circles for bridging critical pedagogy with instructional design. For students and researchers exploring how technology can foster belonging and equity in classrooms, Packard’s voice offers a refreshing, values-driven counterpoint to dominant discourses of automation and datafication.
